Vicky Kaushal comments on the Movie: Sam Bahadur
‘I’m grateful to Meghna Gulzar for casting me in this role,’ Vicky said. As she mentioned the script while we were filming ‘Raazi,’ I searched for him to see how he looked since my father and mother had told me a lot about him, but I’d never seen Sam Manekshaw up close. Because I thought he was so handsome when I first saw him, I was amazed Meghna gave me this role.
Vicky further said, “Me and Meghna did a lot of research work on how he walks and talks, his mannerisms.” We looked at his videos, read a lot about him, and talked about the script for approximately five or six hours. So, bringing such a person to life requires a lot of effort. There are no Sundays or days off. There was constant planning. We met his family members, and they were quite helpful. I have roughly 200 images of him on my phone to document every stage of his existence.”
